Review: Lost Coast Winterbraun Brown Ale

I regularly pass by Lost Coast Brewing's beer at the Liquor Mart without giving them a shot, but every one of their beers has been on my list for a while. Why haven't I tried them sooner? No clue.
I'm excited, trying their Winterbraun Ale. Seeing that it's obviously going to be a stronger beer meant for winter time (Remember California's idea of winter differs from Manitoba), it's supposed to be a beer to make you feel warm and fuzzy during the cold winter nights. The beer was around $4.80 before tax, 6.5% ABV.

Appearance: In 650mL bottle, love the graphics, Pours a very very dark brown colour, similar in appearance to a porter. Very minimal foam that diminishes immediately.

Aroma: Sweet and malty, almost parfumic, bit of a note of coffee, and pretty roasted.

Taste: Taste of roasted malts, coffee, almost similar to the porter I had the other day. A bit of a bitter hit of flavour ad the middle-back of my mouth and pretty nutty, overall.

Welcome to BeerCrank.ca! I'm a bit obsessed about craft beer, especially Canadian craft beer so I mainly review Canadian beer but I love to try beer from all over the world as well. My goal is to help influence the casual beer drinker to go out and expand their beer palate one way or another. Feel free to send some feedback!
